Theme From Charade
Music by Henry Mancini
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Bm-F#7-Bm-F#7
Bm
When we played our charade
F#7
We were like children posing
Em F#7 Em F#7
Playing at games, acting out names
Em Gm F#7 Bm
Guessing the parts we played
Bm
Oh what a hit we made
F#7
We came on next to closing
Em F#7 Em F#7
Best on the bill, lovers until
Em Gm F#7 Bm
Love left the masquerade
Em7 A7 Dmaj7 Bm
Fate seemed to pull the strings
Em7 A7 Dmaj7 Ebdim
I turned and you were gone
Em A7 Dmaj7 Bm
While from the darkened wings
E7 Em7 F#7
The music box played on
Bm
Sad little serenade
F#7
Song of my heart's composing
Em F#7 Em F#7
I hear it still, I always will
Em Gm Bm
Best of the bill, charade.
